Hey friends! New lesson today for In Spite of Ourselves, the classic duet between John Prine and Iris DeMent. I'll start off by showing you campfire chords & strumming, allowing you to play this song even if you're just getting started with guitar. From there, I'll pile on a few additional tricks (e.g. strumming with alternate bass notes) before diving headlong into the Travis Picking fingerstyle used in the song's intro. This passage took me a while to learn, but with time and persistence, I got over the hump! And I'm sure you can learn it just the same. I hope you enjoy!

    Your lesson and song sheet took most of the work out of trying to learn this one. Your page 5 saved me all the work and left just the fun.

    Ok ... Been fiddling around with guitar for 2 years now and practicing this song for 2 weeks. I'm determined to learn it but it has been a real challenge.

    @songnotes Just wanted to voice my appreciation to you and your videos dave. You were essential to me getting started about 7 months ago! And I just recently hit a milestone and can both sing and play now, although I'll be the first to admit I have a long way to go I'm glad to have something good enough to share. Thanks for being there for me!

    I wish I could give you five thumbs up for this one. I absolutely love this.❤🌹Sadly, I discovered John Prine last year and have been listening to everything he’s played, written, and sung. Another song sheet added to my library. I also like your lesson on Paradise.

    Hi David, Just Subscribed, love your lessons especially the ones on John Prine and his brilliant songwriting and music. I don’t know if you do requests but if you do, could I be bold enough to request John Prines “Speed of the sound of loneliness” Thanks David and Take Care.
